Getting registered with eBay as either an auction seller or buyer is a very simple process. As a buyer, all you need to do is provide some minimal information such as name, address, and e-mail address, and create a user ID and password. Registering as a seller requires some additional steps, primarily focusing on financial matters, though you'll also be expected to agree upon what you can and cannot put up for auction, and the rules and regulations associated with listing or presenting information regarding the items you intend to auction. You'll be expected to conduct your selling affairs in an honest matter, in no way misrepresenting the items you will be listing.
